Basement Demolition in Toronto

Finishing, waterproofing or redoing your basement? We clear it out to the walls and floor so the next trade can get to work.

Basement strip-outs made easy

Basement demolition is often the first step before waterproofing, underpinning or a new finished space. We remove old finishes, framing and flooring, and carry everything up and out, even through tight stairwells.

We work on basements of all sizes across Toronto and the GTA.

What we remove

  • Drywall, panelling and plaster
  • Wood and steel stud framing
  • Drop ceilings and drywall ceilings
  • Carpet, tile, laminate and subfloor
  • Old bathrooms and wet bars
  • Insulation and vapour barrier

Good to know

If your basement has had water damage or mould, let us know in your request. Ontario requires a designated substance survey (asbestos, lead and similar) before demolition on most older buildings, especially those built before 1990. If asbestos is found, it is removed by a licensed abatement contractor before we start, and quoted separately.
